Oatmeal Cookies

Besides snicker-doodles, oatmeal cookies are my favorite, these are Yummy Yummy Yummy! They tend to dry out quickly though, but if you microwave them for 15-20 seconds, there as gooey as if they just came out of the oven.

Blend 1 cup butter with 1 cup brown sugar & and one cup white sugar.

Add 2 eggs & 1 tsp. vanilla.

Add 1 1/2 C. flour, 1tsp. baking soda, & 1 tsp. salt.

Add 3 Cups quick oats.

Cook 12 minute at 350*F leave on cookie sheet for 6 minutes before removing to cooling rack.
